It's Just Another Manic Monday

Daddy had to work a lot today, but we still took a little break together to head to a special little room that had lots of places to climb around on and just goof off - and it even had an air hockey table to play on (not exactly what the designers had in mind).

The weather was very nice outside for a quiet meal on our deck at home.  Mommy, Daddy and Maddie enjoyed the evening together outside, even taking time out to read "The Little Engine that Could."

So far, she seems to favor Dr. Seuss - though yesterday morning, she really got into Rolie Polie Olie.  Her favorite book series is a Winnie the Pooh series we found last year before we met.  It helps to read it with a lot of enthusiasm, which Daddy can manage from time to time!

We need some more coloring sheets!  Fortunately, Daddy made some more from the Handy Manny website.  Now Madison can color her favorite tools from the show (last week she colored in her favorite fairies, and the week before that it was her favorite characters from Little Einsteins). 

Mommy has been real good about encouraging her to explore her artistic side, and we'll be sure to scan some of her latest creations soon, so we can post them here.  This is just the perfect reason now to go buy a scanner/printer - now we can print out coloring sheets, and then scan them to show off Madison's skills!
